## Ravens Lose 35-13 to Bengals
Baltimore Ravens lost back-to-back games for the first time this season in Week 7 on Sunday by allowing a second straight divisional rival to come from behind as the Cincinnati Bengals beat them 35-13 at…
## Lamar Jackson Out
With franchise quarterback Lamar Jackson out with an ankle injury for the third week in a row, they came into this game as slight underdogs to come out on top but looked like they were…
## Second Half Collapse
Unfortunately, they went from pitching a shutout to getting shut out in the second half and blowing another double-digit lead for the second week in a row in even more epic fashion.
## Ravens Fall to 4-3
With the loss, they fell to 4-3 and are bottom of the division, where they rightfully belong given how they've played the past two weeks.
## Winners
Here are several Ravens players and coaches who stepped up and showed out, and others who made some costly mistakes from coaching and execution standpoints.
## Zay Flowers
The two-time Pro Bowler was the only player who balled out in this game and couldn't be stopped no matter what the opposition did to try to slow him down.
## Zay Flowers Stats
Flowers eclipsed 100 receiving yards in the first half of a game for the third time this season and for the first time without Jackson playing either half.
## Zay Flowers Final
He finished with a team-leading eight catches on 11 targets for 137 receiving yards and his third touchdown of the season.
## Mike Green
In a game where Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was nearly sacked what felt like a half dozen times, the second-year pro was the only defender who managed to actually get him on the ground.
## Mike Green Sack
Green's third sack of the season and the Ravens' lone sack of the game came at the perfect time, as it secured their first-half shutout since it came in the final 31 seconds.
## Tyler Loop
The second-year pro didn't have to attempt a field goal over 40 yards, but the fact that he made all three of his kicks, which included an extra point, bodes well for him after a…
## Losers
There were so many culprits from this unit who were culpable for the Ravens' downfall in this game that they deserved to be lumped together.
## Secondary Unit
After only allowing Burrow to complete half of his dozen passing attempts in the first half for a measly 43 passing yards and no touchdowns, they got carved up and torched for 249 and four…
## Defensive Backs
Burrow went 16-of-18 over the final two quarters because the Ravens' defensive backs were being taken advantage of and making mistakes every which way.
## Offensive Line
The Ravens were able to build their double-digit lead by predominantly having backup quarterback Tyler Huntley throw the ball all over the yard.
## Offensive Line Struggles
They weren't able to get any traction on the ground and were especially poor when it came to short-yardage situations, even before stud first-round rookie left with a knee injury.
## Trey Hendrickson
In his first game against his former team, the four-time Pro Bowler went from breathing down Burrow's neck for most of the first half to not being much of a factor in the second.
## Derrick Henry
After a torrid start to the season, the future first-ballot Hall of Famer has been held to fewer than 100 rushing yards and out of the end zone in back-to-back games for the first time…
## Declan Doyle
For the second week in a row, the first-year play-caller went from looking like the next coming of Sean McVay in the first half to having no answers or adjustments in the second.
## Second-Half Tackling
As has been the case in all three of their losses and even in some of their wins, the Ravens struggled to bring ball carriers and pass catchers down in open space and short of…
## Key takeaway

Baltimore Ravens lose 35-13 to Cincinnati Bengals with Lamar Jackson out, dropping to 4-3 and bottom of AFC North.
